Every face shows and tells our health stories

My mother was correct when she told me that if I kept making the same face it would stay that way.

Although new to most Westerners, Chinese face reading has been around for thousands of years as a way of assessing physical health and personality traits.

If you’ve ever been fooled, hurt or misled by another person’s intentions, you’re going to love and appreciate Chinese face reading.

Below are nine major signs on the face that reveal insight into people’s character and personality as well as their potential for disease. And yes, what you see on other people’s faces may also be mirrored and meaningful on you!

Remember to approach these nine signs with wonderment and a sense of play.

Rather than looking for dis-ease by scanning your face with fear, stay open to personality traits that may or may not serve you and others. If you see signs that feel “negative” consider how you can tweak a lifestyle habit or two.

Face reading is fabulously old and fabulously fun too. These nine signs show a lot about who you are, who they are… and offer a glimpse into all those stories we carry in our head, heart andhuman body.

1. Vertical downturned lines near the eyes indicate past regrets.

2. Horizontal lines at the top or bridge of the nose indicate high or low blood sugar and high-diabetic risk.

3. Wrinkles around the lips indicate feelings of being under-nurtured in the past or present.

4. A crooked, uneven mouth indicates a person who is likely to lie and spread exaggerated falsehoods about themselves.

5. Ears that stick out from the head means the person only hears what they want and is not a mindful or empathetic listener.

6. Large round nostrils usually appear on people who are generous with their time and money.

7. A large mouth with full lips belong to those who love and are energized by soft creatures like puppies, babies and flowers.

8. Sparkling eyes (clear, bright) indicate a strong, powerful spirit.

9. Large fatty earlobes reflect a well-balanced spirit and potential for a long, healthy life.

Shine the light you want in the world

You’re likely someone who cares about improving themselves and their world. You’ve got a big heart – and the world loves generous, kind people like you. The whole wide world thrives when we open our hearts and fix our eyes on what we want to change.

What do all loving and compassionate leaders believe? Our most beloved leaders always look to the future with hope and faith. Do you? (Yes, the media circus can make a happy clown cry.)

Here are five practical tips for strengthening your precious heart so you can go out there and be the change you want to see in the world.

Create healthy relationships. You know who they are. Crabs in the barrel try to bring you down, down, down. Negative people are toxic, especially if they’re related to you! Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your dreams. On those tough days when you feel without company, support or friends, honor the realization you are never alone. You’re an integral, never-to-be-seen again piece of the puzzle. The universe is benevolent. Einstein said so!

Show self-love and self-care. You teach people how to treat you. If you don’t know how to forgive yourself, how to celebrate your successes, how to show yourself respect and love, you’ll attract people who reflect that self-loathing. (That’s not blame. That’s Law of Attraction.) Find activities, fascinations or hobbies that fill you with wonder and joy. When you’re enthusiastic and inspired, you are one with spirit. Have fun, spread joy, rest and rejuvenate. Repeat.

Imagine. One by one, we become “everyone”. Yes, if everyone practiced such loving tips, the world would be a different place. For now? Be the catalyst. Commit to watching your mind, honor your lovely heart and always try your best to be kind. You’re a leader. Believe!

Today and always we pray for peace and harmony for you and the entire world.
